Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting a baby. The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry and members of both families are delighted with the news.

The news has seemed about to break for weeks, as rumors swirled that Prince William would be leaving the Royal Air Force, Kate and Will would both be moving to Kensington Palace, and the duchess was moving about London in a very belly-hiding-y way. Kate also cut her hair into bangs, which the lovably overheated Daily Mail took as a sign that she was undergoing a major life change. We’re going to take a wild, completely speculative guess that Kate is four months pregnant, meaning a baby will come along sometime this spring, in April or May. Just about the time of the couple’s second wedding anniversary—a big break with tradition in recent royal history, as both Queen Elizabeth and Princess Diana gave birth within their first year of marriage.

In sum: congratulations, Will and Kate—we know your offspring will be delightful.
